Grade 9's

This week students began reading the novel 'Forbidden City' by William Bell. We will spend a lot of time in the next few weeks exploring the setting and themes in the novel.

Attendance is very important - if students miss class they should ask a classmate or see me to find out what they have missed. It is crucial students keep up with the readings.

Grade 8's

Grade 8's are continuing to work through the unit 'Reality Check' - the unit focuses on synthesizing while reading and improving fluency in writing. This week students will begin writing a letter to the editor.

Reading continues for grade 8 students! Students are reading, reading & reading! By the end of June they will(hopefully!) finish reading 8 books:)
